My watch updated couple weeks ago but my friends still stuck on 5.0.2
Is there way to force the OTA update?
Thanks
Download the LG G Watch Restore Tool from the G Watch Forum and use the "restore to stock" option. They recently updated with the 5.1.1 system, boot, recovery images.
Thanks
No problem, glad to help.

I recently purchased the GSM Moto G and unlocked the bootloader/rooted my device. The phone is running 4.3 android, but I want to install the latest 4.2.2 kitkat. I can download the software directly from the phone through the system updates menu in the settings. However, when I try downloading it, it says that the device must restart to install. When restarting, the phone loads up in the bootloader menu and never installs the update. Every time I try starting up my phone now, it automatically tries to install the update by restarting the device and loading up into the bootloader again. I can no longer use my phone now because it continues to restart the device. I do I install 4.2.2 if I've already unlocked the bootloader? Thanks in advance.

Hello my friend! I don't have a Motorola myself but i did my best to do some research. First thing you want to know is that if you can download OTA update (the updates from your manufacture) you don't need to have an unlocked bootloader and some manufactures stop giving you OTA updates if you are rooted (Idk about Motorola but Samsung, Lg do this). You want to unlock your bootloader if you want to flash a custom Recovery and later install Custom ROM not when you want manufacture update. Here is a tutorial on how to flash your MOTO G to the last 4.4.2 using ADB. When you download the firmware be sure to download the good one. Good luck.

Press Thanks if i helped you.

Can I simply flash a 4.4.2 firmware or must I flash a 4.3 version and download OTA update from my device?

You can just flash 4.4.2 from start so you don't need to update from 4.3. There is no problem my friend. Good luck.
I have installed gohma 2.3 custom rom with twrp recovery and root and have taken gohma-gwatch-1.2 to get back 4.4 stock with stock recovery and unroot.
After that I clear all inside the recovery to have a fresh stock without old data. I got the setup and the paring to the phone and after I check for an update the lg told me that one is available and start the download.
After it was finished the watch boot into the recovery and start the flash but aborth with an error 7 message
Can anyone explain me why? After I start the watch again the update told me that 4.4 is latest and there is no update available.
The OTA is from 4.4 to 5.0.2 but now I dont get 5.0.1 like before. Another watch work fine with this method but why this one not? Andy ideas please
Same issue here. Returned to stock on 5.01 and when upgrading to 5.02 I get that error 7. Tried everything, wiped several times but no way to install.
thats strange because my own watch work fine with the downgrade and changing the recovery back to 4.4 stock. My dad can use the watch with 4.4 but I dont understand this :crying:
Solved. Used RootJunky v8 to go back to stock 4.4 and then flashed OTA 5.02. Worked.

Thank you sir :highfive: , you just saved my LG G Smartwatch!!! i wasn't able to update to smartwatch to the newest android wear 5.0.2 update without getting error 7 on recovery, i was using the LG G watch restore tool v9.5 to restore my watch and kept getting the Error 7 when trying to update, so i stumbled upon this forum and decided to use the v8 of the tool instead of the v9.5 and it worked perfect, i was able to update my watch to 5.0.2 without any errors :victory: i will share this news with other users that are in the same boat as i was and will give you the credit bro... awesome find really!!!
So I rooted my LG G Watch, installed a ROM and didn't see any huge benefit. As a result, I properly unrooted and relocked my watch and I see OTA system updates, but they unfortunately won't install anymore. Any tips, suggests or advice? FYI I know the bootloader is locked and I did countless factory resets of my watch, but I can't install the OTA updates. :crying:
Anyone??
You're probably not completely unrooted.
See post 269 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/development/script-lg-g-watch-tool-t2820863/page27
It took a while for me, but I got it done that way.
Best of luck.
Has anyone received thus OTA yet? Google posted the images for 5.1.1 online 29 days ago, but I haven't received it yet.
Germany lte version using 5.1.1 since ca. 2 weeks or so

Where did you email? I called them and got double-talk. So, I'll email them. It probably takes X number of calls/emails from disappointed customers before they bother to look into it.
I never got 5.02. When I initially booted the device last December, it automatically OTA'd 5.01. I was hoping I'd get an OTA that would take from to 5.1.1 from 5.01.

Guys, this is XDA. It's pretty easy to update yourself with the factory image. No need for the ota. Just flash the bootloader, system and boot images. No lose of data either.

No loss of data assume the bootloader is already unlocked. In my case, it's still locked. Obviously, I can back up everything and flash, but part of the reason for buying a Nexus device includes prompt OTAs.
The device downloaded and installed 5.0.2 without a hitch. On reboot, it downloaded the 5.1.1 OTA, but errored on installation. I cleared the cache, rebooted and it repeated the process with the same error result. Nexus tech support, when they hear OTA, pretty much say "we know nothing."
So, I'll backup the device as best I can, do a factory reset and try the OTA again.
Now, I can unlock the device and ADB the images manually. Why not do so? You'd have to be married to understand. This is my wife's tablet. If I unlock the bootloader or root it or do anything other than "normal" Google stuff and anything ever goes amiss, my lovely wife will complain that my tinkering has caused her Candy Crush and Facebook to malfunction.
has anyone lost root updating to current this month? i know my v10 became an ad filled, stock navbar, paper weight after it's last forced update.
I'm curious about this as well.
I finally got around to rooting my Stylo 3 Plus for the first time over the weekend, after closely following the developments in this forum for the past 6 months. It took a lot of trial and error and reflashing of TWRP before I got the timing down right, but I finally got it rooted (using Magisk 15.2).
And of course, luck would have it that within a few hours of my rooting success, a new system update notification (which I had never heard of until now!), pops up and asks me to restart to install it. I am using Titanium Backup to force stop the particular Google service involved, which makes the notification go away and I can reboot without it upgrading. But it always come back within 24 hours or so.
Has anyone installed this update yet (MP45010f) and successfully re-rooted? I'm currently using Magisk 15.2 with systemless hosts, Ad-Away, and Xposed with Greenify & MinMinGuard enabled. I would welcome any advice on how to proceed after the update to restore root and continue using Ad-Away, Xposed, etc. Or even how to disable the update notification for good so I can stay on MP45010e a while longer.

I Installed the 10f update.
On the download page the date was listed as March something.
While updating with LG Bridge, it was listed as Feb 22.
After it was installed (update 10f for LGMP450) the security patch date was listed as Feb 01.
I rooted and installed TWRP (and removed RCTD). Everything seems fine.
I am reverting back to my old install. Because i have made a million little tweaks, that would take forever to redo on a new install. I just wanted to see if everything still works (and it appears it does).
PS - The first time i updated this phone (back around Oct2017) the LG Bridge erased my SD storage. This time it left all of my installed apps in place. Also, this appears to simply be a google security update. No firmware changes from LG.
I thought a system update wouldn't happen if youv done rooted your phone the only way back on the day was to reflash stock ROM to get the update

yeah thats what i did was revert back to stock so u can update then i update it then re rooted my phone
if you update using the LG Bridge computer program, it will update a rooted phone. but you will need to reroot afterward.

Thanks for testing this out. If you don't mind me asking, which method do you use to root? And do you also use Xposed?
To anyone else who might know, does everything Magisk- or Xposed-related get removed by the security updates (frameworks, modules, configs, etc)? Just trying to get an idea how many of my modules I should expect to reinstall and configure from scratch if I decide to update from 10e to 10f.

Yeah, I thought this was kind of weird too. I've never used LG Bridge to update. The notification just appeared on my phone shortly after rooting.
Is Xposed only for Magisk or can it be used on the rom, if so can I get a link to how to do so
LG Bridge

Im using Magisk 16.1 (no Xposed) and TWRP 3.2.1
I have not run into any issues.
It appears to simply be a security patch update.
I doubt it should cause any new headaches.
The original method still works to reroot and reinstall TWRP.
Using the LG Bridge program is about as easy as an update can be. You install it on your computer, plug your phone into the computer, and click "update" on the computer program. Its all automatic.
